Artistic Prints $15 (two paper prints) or $30 (one canvas print)Remember the beauty of the life sustaining organ that grew your sweet child(ren) with an artistic print captured either on water color paper or stretched canvas. These prints are created tastefully with natural (red/brown) or food grade coloring (red/pink/blue/green).

​Additional 4oz Tincture $25A small piece of raw placenta is placed in your choice of 100 proof vodka or brandy and fermented for a minimum of six weeks. A tincture when stored properly can last for years and is found to have similar benefits of capsules. Utilize the benefits during the first postpartum menstrual cycle, menopause, and other significant life events. ​

Process and Methods

Our process includes sanitation of our work space and all supplies before and after each encapsulation. Once the work space and supplies have been sanitized cleaning of the placenta begins by rinsing under cool water, removing the amnion and cord, and processing using one of two methods of encapsulation.

We offer either raw or heated preparation of the placenta with the option to include both methods (half and half). Raw Preparation is the thin slicing of the rinsed placenta in its raw form and dehydrating it, where as, the Heated Preparation includes the additional step of steaming the placenta prior to thinly slicing it for dehydration (this method also yields mothers broth)*. Once dehydration is complete the placenta, cord, and amnion is ground into a fine powder and placed into size zero unflavored vegetarian capsules**.

*Mothers Broth is a liquid created from the steaming of the placenta. It is often added to tea, taken in a spoon of honey, or used in cooking.**Different size or flavored capsules are available upon timely request and may be subject to an additional fee.

​Disclaimer: Placenta consumption in any form is not intended to treat, relieve, or prevent any symptoms, diseases, or ailments. Beneficial results may vary from person to person.
